New Zealand Football have announced the new, free, Football Whānau Priority Pass, the official way for fans to register their interest in buying tickets for the All Whites games at FIFA World Cup 2026 in Canada, Mexico, and the USA. 

With Aotearoa New Zealand having qualified for the tournament next year, New Zealand Football will be able to purchase a limited amount of tickets for each game the team will play.

Fans who sign up for the free Football Whānau Priority Pass will be given the opportunity to enter the ballot to win the right to purchase tickets.

Registration does not guarantee tickets, or the right to purchase tickets, but is the best route for Kiwis to access the biggest sporting event in the world. 

The first Football Whānau Priority Pass sign up period, where fans have the best chance of securing tickets, is open now and closes on 21 November 2025. 

The ballot process and allocation criteria will be confirmed after the FIFA World Cup 2026 Draw on 6 December 2025 NZT.

New Zealand Football CEO Andrew Pragnell said:

“The All Whites returning to the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 16 years is going to be a massive moment for football in Aotearoa New Zealand and we want to see as many fans backing the team in Canada, Mexico, and the USA as possible.

“The support that the team had at our last game in Oslo was immense and definitely helped us get a draw with Norway, so we look forward to seeing Kiwis in the stands as we look to make history next year.”
